...McCain's 37%, up from his 12-point lead in September. The Register's Iowa Poll also shows Obama leading by 23 points among all-important independent voters, who make up 32% of Iowa's 2.1 million registered voters (Democrats are 32%; Republicans, 28%.) Other recent polls put Obama ahead by 14-15 points in Iowa. If this lead holds, this would be the biggest Iowa win since 1972 when Richard Nixon beat George McGovern by 17.1 points...
...ninth overall. WOMEN’S VICTORIAN COFFEE URNAfter an uncharacteristically rough finish two weekends ago, the Harvard women made the most of their last chance to qualify for ACCs at home.

The protocols started after the 2004 presidential race, when early exit poll data indicating that John Kerry was ahead leaked across the Internet in the early afternoon. Now, the reps can't talk to their newsrooms until 5 p.m., when communication lines reopen so that the broadcast networks have enough time to prepare for their evening newscasts...

Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin has just called for another $100 billion to bail out major companies, which can expect to jump ahead of the regions in the line for government assistance.
